Migrating Warblers

Bob and I spent the last few days at Magee Marsh on the shore of Lake Erie, not far from Toledo. We saw lots of birds: assorted warblers (23 species), thrushes (3 species)and other birds.

The birds pile up here at Magee Marsh because it is one of the few places where they can make landfall and find food before they cross Lake Erie to go north to nest. Some of these birds have wintered in Central and South America.
